John's OK. Those are three NINES on his head

[@rakshal132]

You were so on the money about the title going to be confusing going forward. Every time I heard "The First Omen" I thought the first movie. lul

Damien in 'Omen III: Final Conflict', is an Ambassador from the United States. He charms the single mother and her son while trying to kill off infants born on a certain day.

Towards the end of 'Omen IV: The Awakening', towards the end of the movie, it was revealed that Delia was the daughter of Damien Thorn.

I'm really enjoying these "double-Bill" reviews. It's fun to compare how good movies could be made 50 years ago, yet today's sh1tty writers and directors aren't capable of making anything other than complete dross.

One of the things that I'm still confused about the first omen(2024) is why the evil church people didn't indoctrinate the main girl? Why did the plan have to be hidden from her? Is this ever mentioned in the movie or in this stream, and I just wasn't paying attention?

Was David Seltzer even consulted about this movie

@1:44 "The best part of this movie is" Charles Dance not giving a fuck that he's dead.

[@rakeshpancholi4457]

In the original 1976 Omen movie, Father Brennan claimed he was at the birth of the AntiChrist but, in The First Omen prequel movie, he was not evident at the birth (due to a plot device). So, there is a lack of continuity between prequel and 1976 movie here. They should have found a way to incorporate Mrs B'allock into the First Omen movie, as she was introduced as a kind of protective force for Damien in the original film.

Definitely, and where did the buried Jackal in the original come from?

[@rakeshpancholi4457]

@@Jay-pn9ky also no mention of the Comet that hits the sky at the point of the birth of the Antichrist, at end of the movie. No reference to the 666 birthmark on Father Brennan, to suggest that he is an apostate of the devil. Lots of inconsistencies that could have elevated this movie from good to excellent. They could have thrown in a few Rottweilers and ravens for good measure, and maybe a few more omen-type deaths !. Lol. I just hope the ending doesn't retcon the 2nd and third films in the trilogy.

[@Jay-pn9ky]

@@rakeshpancholi4457 Agreed, plus Damien’s birth doesn’t feel as impactful when he has a sibling, along with two other characters who were born the same way as him and are still alive. It simply cheapens up the build up of him coming into existence.

[@Sue20022010]

Original was fun And Rosemary's Baby - friggin legend. Along with the Exorcist, the 70's had some sic horror.

[@bangoskank7018]

The Omen II is actually pretty decent. Third one sucks.

10/10🎥🌝🌞🎁

The original Omen is a campy yet chillingly effective horror film and my personal favorite of the classic Devil Movie Triad. The sequels and remake are entirely forgettable, save for Sam Neil putting it up Lisa Harrow's ass in The Final Conflict. Honestly wasn't expecting anything good from "The First Omen," it immediately looked like it was going to be yet another generic reboot that can't help but fuck up whatever connective tissue it tries to establish with the original film and impose current-year ideas about religion and identity politics into a story that was better without them. Sounds like my impressions were well-founded.

Sorry I missed
